Project Overview
This transformative urban project proposes returning central Yerevan to pedestrians by redirecting vehicle traffic through underground passages. The initiative creates a direct and safe pedestrian connection from Republic Square to Russia Square.
Urban Strategy
The design unites five existing green zones into a single continuous Yerevan Boulevard. These zones include Yerevan 2750th Anniversary Park, Yerevan 2800th Anniversary Park, Russia Square, Children's Park, and English Park.
Underground infrastructure creates additional spaces and parking facilities. This approach preserves the historic urban fabric while enhancing pedestrian accessibility and safety throughout the central district.
Connectivity & Infrastructure
The boulevard system establishes seamless pedestrian flow between major civic squares. Underground passages accommodate vehicular circulation without disrupting the pedestrian experience at street level.
New underground spaces provide opportunities for commercial, cultural, and parking functions. The integrated approach addresses both transportation needs and urban quality enhancement.
Landscape Integration
The unified boulevard celebrates Yerevan's 2800th anniversary through thoughtful landscape design. Geometric patterns and formal layouts reference Armenian cultural traditions while creating contemporary public spaces.
Each park zone maintains its distinct character while contributing to the overall boulevard experience. The design creates varied spatial sequences from intimate garden areas to grand ceremonial spaces.
